State v. Durant

Summary

The court affirmed Durant’s conviction for second-degree criminal sexual conduct. It held that testimony from three other alleged victims was admissible because the allegations shared a distinctive method of abuse that logically connected the prior acts to the charged offense. Although the State failed to accurately disclose a witness’s criminal history, the undisclosed information was not material because there was no reasonable probability it would have changed the outcome. The court also rejected Durant’s additional challenges to the jury pool, Allen charge, and cumulative error claim.
